Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compares the fuel efficiency of gasoline and denatured alcohol in internal combustion engines, and presents the results of a detailed investigation of the subject carried out by the United States Geological Survey. The study found that denatured alcohol can be used effectively as a fuel substitute for gasoline, producing a comparable amount of power but necessitating a greater quantity of fuel. The author takes into account different grades of gasoline and alcohol, engine modifications, and operating variables, examining the impact on thermal efficiency, mixture quality, and other factors. The book concludes that, under the conditions of testing, denatured alcohol can be a viable alternative to gasoline, and offers valuable insights into the potential of ethanol as a sustainable energy solution, providing a lasting resource for evaluating the efficiency of different fuels in internal combustion engines.
